Canadian senior saves up for e-bike to get to work — and someone stole it
Global News
A 72-year-old woman from Kingston, Ont., says she saved up for months to buy an e-bike for herself as a birthday present — only to have it stolen.
For Susan St Laurent, her e-bike was a lifeline to living in Kingston, Ont.
The 72-year-old says she saved up for months to buy the e-bike for over $750 as a birthday present for herself.
“For a person like me, I have to save up that money. I am trying to retire but I am still working,” St Laurent says.
The 72-year-old works at the Brockview Café at Hôtel Dieu Hospital in Kingston.
She says she only had the bike for a few months when she looked out the window at work one day and saw it was gone.
“I bought it for myself and I thought it would last me forever and ever but someone thought otherwise,” she says.
“I really miss it.”
St. Laurent filed a police report, and says she tried looking around the area for the bike but had no luck.
